Good point Yakk. I would go further. I remember back in the early 1990's that everybody started to buy minivans. I, in my sizable, yet lower profile LeBaron sedan, or smaller Tercel, was unable to view the road ahead when I was surrounded by Caravans, Astros, Safaris and the ilk.

But even though minivans were just as big, or just as gas-guzzling (except for the magic wagons - the Voyagers/Caravans didn't even get a gas-guzzler sur-tax probably because they were basically K-cars) they never suffered the same rap as SUVs.

I'm actually looking at a CRV at the moment. I need some space, but still a car like vehicle. The cross-overs look good. The new CRV is lower and wider. But then there is the new Ford Edge too.
